'Lilium pardalinum giganteum
var. Apricot Giant'

Grown by Pontus Wallstén, he reports this bulb was received in a trade with a member of the RHS and was originally planted as seed of Lilium Kelleyanum which is obliviously turned out not to be. Lilium Kelleyanum and Lilium pardalinum territories in nature do overlap in some areas and this might have been wild collected seed based on the photo insert of this same coloration being found in nature in a natural stand of Lilium pardalinum .
